Imagine if he was a Canadien. So close to being MAIDed.
A 37-year-old man with a rare blood disease was being sent to hospice. An AI model searched thousands of existing drugs and ranked a combination no one had tried for his condition. He responded within a week. He is in remission. The drugs were already on the shelf. The AI model found the match.

the Puritans were right
I genuinely thought this was AI. It is not. Real life in the Church of England is now beyond parody.

you do not hate Effective Altruism nearly enough

I work at OpenAI. In my personal capacity, I also think we need to slow down.

the sad reality is that AI does pose an existential threat to the free world. not because of AI itself, but because of all the Effective Altruism employees at both Anthropic and OpenAI who are going to put billions of dollars to work in EA NGOs after their IPOs.

Wild to see @Nature attacking science this way
Editorial: The death of Jason Arday must prompt deep reflection go.nature.com/4xu6cnq
Community note
Arday was an academic fraud whose life story was fake. Editorial falsely treats former as unproven allegation, omits mention of latter, defames those who covered the scandal as racist. Calls him "autistic Black scholar" despite no proven autism diagnosis. substack.com/@nathancofnas/… theguardian.com/education/ng-i… thetimes.com/uk/education/a… news.educ.cam.ac.uk/230223-jason-a… bbc.com/news/articles/… bbc.com/news/uk-englan… piped.video/shorts/4kLRJvR… piped.video/watch?v=g28uXe… piped.video/watch?v=FA78tV… x.com/benryanwriter/… x.com/benryanwriter/…

Can we get an Omarchy phone with Starlink mobile spectrum please @dhh
SpaceX spent $19.6 billion on spectrum everyone said was too small to matter. 65 MHz, a fraction of what any one of the big three carriers controls. Then Gwynne Shotwell explained where the cell towers go, and AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile fell 2 to 4% in an afternoon. The plan skips towers entirely. Starlink has 12 million customers with dishes bolted to their roofs, and Shotwell wants to attach a small cellular base station to the same mount. Every rooftop becomes a cell site. That breaks the carrier cost model in a specific way. The radio was always the cheap part of a cell site. The money goes to land leases, permits, and trenching fiber backhaul to feed each antenna, which is why small cell buildouts have crawled for a decade. Starlink's version deletes all three. The site is a customer's roof. The backhaul is the dish sitting next to the base station, already talking to satellites. And instead of paying rent to host the equipment, the host pays SpaceX $120 a month for internet. Carriers pay landlords to carry their network. SpaceX's landlords pay SpaceX. The satellites cover everything the rooftops miss. Next gen direct to cell satellites launch in 2027, and Shotwell says the upgraded service will be 100x better than the version that already texts your phone in dead zones today. The strangest seat in the room belongs to T-Mobile. They leased SpaceX the 5 MHz that proved direct to cell works, marketed it as T-Satellite, and taught their own customers to trust the signal. In 2027 the partner files in as the fourth carrier.

Find yourself a builder that loves his country as much as Palmer
Investors like Paul want the immigration debate to be strictly polar because it is the only way their traitorous ideas might seem reasonable. They paint one side as racist, backwards, economically illiterate absolutists and the other as enlightened, growth-minded cosmopolitian realists. Support for laws that protect American citizens can be dismissed as uneducated, anyone who hires immigrants or foreigners in any capacity a hypocrite. American law should, and does, advantage American citizens. We should not have to compete on an even playing field with billions of people who almost universally don't share our values or respect our institutions, even if they are "the most qualified" or willing to work double the hours for the same wages. The men running Operation Paperclip did not think Americans should have to compete with the entire Third World, they understood that a carefully controlled amount of highly-skilled expert immigration is net good for America even when allegience is in question. It is worth noting that even on a purely economic level, ignoring all burdens of loyalty or allegiance to your countrymen and treating America as nothing but an economic activity zone, it still doesn't make sense to say without qualification that foreigners should get any job where they are more qualified than their American counterpart. As just one easy example out of dozens, about 20% of immigrants return home after less than five years, taking all their savings and vested shares with them. Another 20% will leave within ten years, doing the same. All the while, they will wire, on average, ~15% of their wages out of the United States economy every month. Some occupations and origins average 30%! The idea that this should be completely ignored with regard to employment and immigration policy is rampant among the same people who tell you with a straight face that limits on immigrants will destroy the American economy, that the dumb rednecks need to be saved. I lean very libertarian and have strongly supported immigration to America for many years with countless public examples. That doesn't put me on the same side as the men who want to sell out America, and no amount of long-past accomplishment obliges any of us to listen to their lectures from the other side of the Atlantic.

classic HN ;)
Replying to @hackernews
For a Linux user, you can already build a system to read HN quite trivially by getting an AI agent, ask it to curate interesting content via a cron job, and emailing yourself. From Windows or Mac, my email account can be used anywhere to read interesting things people are building. I don’t see why we need this.

happy rocket day!
SpaceX is about to launch their first V3 Starship and it’s by far the biggest and most radical change to the program to date. Here's a super quick overview of what all is new and different including the incredible new Raptor 3 engines, the new launch pad, and everything else that’s debuting on Flight 12. 00:00 - Intro 01:07 - Pad 2 03:15 - Raptor 3 04:59 - SuperHeavy V3 07:56 - Starship V3 10:52 - Flight 12 Profile
